Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-cut bread (such as brioche, challah, or Texas toast)
- 2 large Eggs
- ½ cup Whole milk (whole milk or half-and-half for richness)
- 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract

For serving
- ¼ cup Fresh strawberries sliced
- ¼ cup Fresh blueberries

- Make the Custard: In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.2 large Eggs, ½ cup Whole milk , 1 tbsp Granulated sugar, ½ tsp Vanilla extract, ¼ tsp Ground cinnamon, Pinch of salt
- Soak the Bread: Dip each heart-shaped bread slice into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let them soak for 15-20 seconds per side to absorb enough liquid without becoming soggy.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, place the soaked bread hearts into the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.2 tbsp Butter
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the heart-shaped French toast on plates. Top with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Dust with powdered sugar for a beautiful touch. Drizzle with maple syrup or serve on the side.¼ cup Fresh strawberries, ¼ cup Fresh blueberries, 1 tbsp Powdered sugar, Maple syrup
